    One interesting thing is that Folty threw one of his best games of the year last year against the White Sox in Chicago. Maybe he impressed them a lot and they might overvalue him a bit.

    I think I say yes to that. The only person that really hurts me is Albies. Allard could be awesome, but I think we have plenty more guys. Folty hurts too.

    Id like to see us work out a 3 way trade. Send Teheran for prospects, flip those guys to the Sox, then add Mallex and maybe others. That would be nice.

    Albies and Allard would hurt. It's probably fair, though.

    Well, yeah. The only thing with Folty is that timeline wise it is better. Folty would be under control for about the same time that Sale would be, and if given the choice between the two, I'd choose Sale undoubtedly.

    It would be. Albies and Folty alone have a surplus value of around 115-120 million and that's just with Folty being a 1.5 pitcher going forward and never really figuring it out.

    Too much. Shouldn't do it.

    That's an understatement. If they give up any of Folty, Swanson, or Albies they will be giving up so much future wins to win 2-3 more games in 2017 that it would be beyond moronic.

    Here's to hoping Coppy is as smart as we all hope he is and doesn't mortgage future success for a sub-80 win season.

    And with Sale, we'll probably have the same 78 wins the White Sox had in 2016. We make that trade and I think a lot of fans would nominate Coppolella for Mayor of Crazytown.

    Of course Sale is better than Folty. But one of the issues besides the obvious of giving up that much talent is looking at the rotation for 2018. As constructed it would be Sale and JT with 3 spots wide open.

    Come on now, name one person you know personally that has ties to the Braves' front office.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    really? Like seriously? I really like Folty and his upside is awesome, but we know exactly what we get from Teheran and it's quality. Massive quality.

    This is getting out of control. There is no need to offer this much. I'm very against a loaded package like this.
